There have been several polls with the Native Americans regarding the use of the name Redskins and over 90% are not offended by by the term... in fact they like American sports teams using Braves, Chiefs and Redskins because using those names is a sign of respect for the fierce and brave characteristics of the Native American tribes. Source? Wapo published this the last time there was a large groundswell of change sentiment in 2016, it sort of ended the conversation. Since then its been contradicted to some extent by other surveys

Enough with the animals and the racist names. I think it's time for some new derogatory nicknames to be added to the pool:
"Weasel Lawyers" -- a weasel with a briefcase "Boring Engineers" -- a guy working next to a tunneling machine "Shady Salesmen" (or women) -- infomercial salesperson huckstering a bottle of snake oil "Pillpushers" -- a doctor with cash in the lab coat pockets and a bottle of happy pills in an open hand "Snooty Clerks" -- you're already picturing this, right?

"Soccer moms" are the worst. I guess now they call them "Karens." How did that transformation happen? It used to be predominantly White women but I've been living in the Bay Area (CA) for so long that now, I see "Karens" among Indians, Asians, and Hispanics. LOL! Gawd! They're all the same.

Yes, the Klickitat Karens -- you better believe that if they don't win, they'll be asking to talk to your manager

I designed sports logos for a long time, so I have seen it all.
One youth FB league sidestepped this issue by calling their version of the Redskins the Blueskins.
That would probably be good enough for the time being; at least up until there exists a group of Caucasoid Democrats that suddenly decide that they "identify" as Smurfs.

Judging by Dan Snyder's stance he'd probably change it to the Yellowskins and the logo to a Chinese guy

My top three choices are:
Washington Divided Washington 93s Washington Donkeys
The "93" comes from a UCLA Economics Professor who wrote a book on media bias. He came up with a scale from 0 to 100, with 0 very conservative, and 100 very liberal. Then he measured states and cities and publications amongst others regarding how conservative or liberal they were. He found Washington DC to be the most left leaning city in the US with a score of 93.

A supervisor in SF just introduced the Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies (CAREN) act to punish racially motivated false 911 calls.

How about a compromise honoring the forefathers of our country as well as the longtime team name?
The Washington Foreskins.

Good riddance.
Apparently they can't announce the preferred name right now because it's caught up in a trademark fight, which seems a little on the nose for Dan Snyder.
